Schlafly Firkins Tapping at Fiddler’s Hearth Tonight

Can’t wait until Friday for Zombie Dust to tap at Fiddler’s Hearth? How about some special release Schlafly brews to tide you over?

Matt Johnson over at World Class Beverage tweeted this morning that not one, but two Schlafly firkins would be tapped this evening at 5:00pm. Not just any Schlafly brews either.

First up is their American IPA, a 7.2% ABV, 65 IBU, May-August seasonal release brewed with Amarillo, Simcoe, Centennial hops and 2-row and Crystal malted barley.

Next is their Indian Brown Ale, of which details are not well known, as this brand is usually reserved for draft exclusively at Schlafly’s two breweries in St. Louis, MO. The description from their website reads as such: “This unique brew has the color of a brown ale, but the aroma of an American style IPA. Dry-hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo and Ahtanum, this beer will prove just how complex a brown ale can be.”

I have had the American IPA before and can happily report that it is a tasty beverage. Can’t say I’ve seen it on tap around these parts, though. Definitely have not had or seen the Indian Brown Ale since it’s a brewery exclusive and I’ve never been to St. Louis. Get on out to Fiddler’s tonight in South Bend and get yourself some Schlafly!
